"The nation's 4th and 8th graders have earned another positive report card in mathematics, as their performance continued on a path of steady improvement that began a decade ago, according to the latest results from the National Assessment of Educational Progress.While the report offers some welcome news on the progress schools are making in raising math achievement, education officials tempered their enthusiasm with concerns that most students are still not "proficient" in the subject, that the gap in the performance between white students and their black and Hispanic classmates has not narrowed, and that 12th graders have lost some of the ground gained since 1990."
